I traveled here with my family (4 adults in total) and our dog, and we absolutely had the best time. Prior to check in, Bill was very communicative and provided all the necessary information about check-in time and getting to the place. When we arrived on the property, we were blown away by how well kept everything was and... THE VIEW! We loved sitting on the wooden swing to look out at the lake. Bill walked us through everything we needed to know about the house, gave us life jackets to use the three complimentary boats, and recommended some wonderful activities and food options. There are neighbors on both sides, but the cabin felt very private and serene. Outside, you will find two charcoal grills!
The house itself is the perfect size for 4-5 adults, and would be great for a family with kids too. The kitchen came fully equipped with cooking utensils, plates, cups, aluminum foil, plastic bags, and a full pantry for cooking. In the living room, there are two large comfy couches (one is a futon for sleeping if you choose), and a Roku TV. The bathroom has everything you need including a first aid kit, fresh bath towels, and soaps/shampoo. The shower had lots of hot water for 4 adults to shower in succession.
In one bedroom, there is a brand new double memory foam mattress, which was incredibly comfortable. The other room has two twin sized beds which can easily be pushed together to make a queen. The room also came with vintage board games and a bunch of great books. At night, with the windows cracked open, you could hear loons out on the lake calling to one another! And the stars did not disappoint.
The lake itself is right in front of the house, down a long set of beautifully made stairs with safety lights at the top so you don't find yourself accidentally tumbling down them at night. The waterfront is sandy- perfect for swimming and setting off on the kayaks or rowboat. And the lake is amazing to explore (there is a private island across the way that is fun to see, lots of fishing- caught a musky from the dock at the house!).
All in all, this place did not disappoint and Bill was a superb host, always a text or call away to help or recommend your next day trip. The location is also choice- Three Lakes is so cute and has lots to offer, and Eagle River is a quick 15 min drive. The proximity to the UP allowed us to to take a day trip to the Porcupine mountains and Lake Superior. Thank you so much Bill- we will be seeing you again!
